Something for the weekend. Samuel Barber’s Adagio For Strings tribute to the victims of 9-11. Never forget.
Adagio For Strings Tribute to the Victims of 9-11
- Donald R. McClarey
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
I always wanted to see a video made of 9/11 with the following scores:
The Attack – Holst’s Mars, the Bringer of War
The Victims – Barber’s Adagio for Strings
Preparing to Respond – Respighi’s The Pines of the Appian Way
Afghanistan – Orff’s O Fortuna (I)
Play them back to back, see how they fit the events of September 2001
Good musical selections.
